Wendy Williams Learns About Her Own Finances From The News — Furious After Discovering She’s Paying $25K A Month For Her Apartment
It looks like Wendy Williams — once the queen of talk — is now learning about her own money the same way the rest of us are: from the media. According to insiders, the former TV host had no idea how much she was actually paying for her luxury apartment at The Coterie until she read about it in New York Magazine.
The bombshell revelation came from the magazine’s recent cover story, which dives deep into Wendy’s ongoing guardianship battle and her campaign to remove her court-appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey. The article also breaks down some shocking financial details — including claims that Wendy’s rent is a whopping $25,000 a month for what she herself has reportedly called a “luxury dump.”
But according to Media Take Out sources, Wendy thought her rent was $18,000 — not $25K.
“She believes Sabrina is draining her money,” a person close to the TV legend said. “She doesn’t even know how much she’s worth anymore.”
Wendy’s Shock Over The Price Tag
Insiders say Wendy was furious after reading that she’s been shelling out $25,000 each month for her studio apartment. “She was told ‘18’ thousand, and now she’s reading it’s ‘25’ — they’re draining her money,” the source said. “Why is it $25K a month for a studio at The Coterie? She’s livid!”
The facility, known for its luxury amenities and upscale clientele, reportedly offers everything from private dining to concierge services — but to Wendy, it’s not worth the price tag. The star has allegedly called the place a ‘luxury dump’ in private conversations, frustrated that she can’t control her own finances or living situation.
Tight Allowances & Mounting Anxiety
Under her current guardianship arrangement, Wendy isn’t allowed to earn an income and reportedly lives off a small weekly allowance — just $200 to $300 a week — which she uses for basic items like Twizzlers and magazines.
Sources tell Media Take Out that Wendy is increasingly anxious about her financial situation, especially with mounting legal fees and ongoing lawsuits eating away at her estate. “She doesn’t even know how much her Uber rides cost,” one insider said. “Everything’s handled for her — except no one’s telling her what’s really going on.”
Legal Drama Still Brewing
Wendy’s guardianship battle isn’t the only fight she’s facing. The former daytime diva is expected to testify next month in a lawsuit filed by her guardian against A&E and Lifetime, claiming they aired the controversial documentary “Where Is Wendy Williams?” without proper consent.
The documentary sparked outrage earlier this year after revealing the extent of Wendy’s health and financial struggles — but also raised questions about who is really in control of her life and fortune.
A Once-Powerful Woman Now Powerless
It’s a sad turn for a woman who once ruled daytime television with her bold opinions and no-filter commentary. Now, Wendy Williams — the woman who made a career out of asking everyone else the tough questions — is left in the dark about her own bank account.
As one insider told Media Take Out, “She’s gone from saying, ‘How you doin’?’ to asking, ‘Where’s my money?’”
